Can you include a macro from a sub-module?

[zicklag]

Is there any way to something like this?:

mod utils {
    macro_rules! say_hi {
        () => {
            println!("Hi!! :waving:")
        };
    }
}

mod program {
    pub(crate) fn do_program_stuff() {
        use crate::utils;
        println!("Doing program stuff");
        utils::say_hi!();
    }
}

fn main() {
    program::do_program_stuff();
}

(Playground)

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

I did find out that this works:

mod utils {
    #[macro_export]
    macro_rules! say_hi {
        () => {
            println!("Hi!! :waving:")
        };
    }
}

mod program {
    pub(crate) fn do_program_stuff() {
        println!("Doing program stuff");
        crate::say_hi!();
    }
}

fn main() {
    program::do_program_stuff();
}

But I want to know if there is a way to export it without having to put all of the macros in the root of the crate.

macros are always exported to crate root, so no

OK, thanks.

I'll just put all my macros in a macros module then and #[macro_use] them in the crate root. That makes them globally accessible from anywhere in the crate.
